“If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, He would have sent an economist.
If He had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, He would have sent us a comedian or an artist.
If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, He would have sent us a politician.
If He had perceived that our greatest need was health, He would have sent us a doctor.
But He perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from Him, our profound rebellion, our death; and He sent us a Savior.”
–D.A. Carson, A Call to Spiritual Reformation: Priorities from Paul and His Prayers (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1992), 109.
